Samantha Bender, LCSW-S

My clients describe me as:

direct, humorous, and engaging. I want therapy to feel comfortable and worth the hard work, and I want it to feel like a safe space.

Something to know about my approach is:

That it involves work in and out of session for both of us, and that open communication and feedback is necessary. I’ll help guide you, though, so you won’t be doing it on your own.

Together, we will:

Talk about what brought you to therapy and how we can work on improving your mental health and overall lifestyle.

I specialize in working with people who:

are experiencing emotion dysregulation, depression, worry, stress, or anxiety. These may be ongoing or recent occurrences. Either way, they’re worth addressing now.

I became a therapist because:

I’ve benefited from my own mental healthcare and am continually working on my self. After seeing how helpful it was, I wanted to share with others.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My “coworkers.” I work remotely from home and have two cats who will likely join our sessions.
